Lunch menu not the biggest but still great. Also is super affordable at 7 pounds or so. Big portion of rice, my cumin beef portion was much smaller than the rice portion. I still quite liked it.

Excellent food at very fair prices (note, portions are very generous so do as we did and order one or two dishes at a time, or take a few friends!) Service varied from friendly to perfunctory and (much-needed!) water had to be requested three times, but it didn't spoil the experience at all. Would definitely recommend and will return!

Family dinner at our old favourite. The Sichuan never disappoints. Beautifully executed Sichuan classics pack a punch; flavours are complex but chilli levels vary. You can go for less spicy dishes if you want (just don’t order the ‘Chinese takeaway classics’ - to do so would be a shame). It’s a good idea to come with a few friends so you can try more dishes - portions are large. Don’t miss the hand torn cabbage with pork belly, beef jerky, the green beans with minced pork, the whole grilled

Good food, which compared well with food we have eaten on trips in China, low prices for a restaurant in the City of London, with well informed helpful service that helped us to pick the right mix of dishes

Great food and incredible value. It's also located just by Moorgate and despite that it provides a great value. Only not great thing is that the lunch menu seems fairly normal, like takeaway Chinese. But one can also take anything from the main menu and there's a great choice there. All with pictures if those tell you much.

Relaxed, few frills Sechuan Chinese restaurant serving delicious, spicy food for those who crave that essential Sechuan kick. Plenty of choice on the menu and portion sizes are generous. They are also happy to adapt non-vegetarian dishes to suit vegetarians. A thoroughly enjoyable meal, reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

I can feel that there’s a lot of MSG and seasoning in the food which us unhealthy to consume. And the duck is really too dry to the point that I cannnot taste the duck and a little bit if fat.

Considering it is Chinese New Year we did understand that the service may be slower than normal which is fine so well done still on service it was super busy. The food was AMAZING, great flavours and felt very authentic in comparison to most Chinese's in the UK. Would highly recommended if you want to taste real flavours rather than just a fried salty taste you would expect from other restaurants/takeaways. I had C3. ‘Gong Bao’ Prawn on Rice (contain hazel nuts) and the C7. Braised Beef Brisket on Rice, both were very yummy!
